00:00From a personal point of view, it made me grow a lot.
00:12After the Games, there was a lot of euphoria, a lot of solicitations,
00:16a lot of thanks to the people and the French public.
00:21This Olympic Olympic team is part of my career and part of myself.
00:26I changed myself from a personal perspective than in the everyday life.
00:32Now, I became a normal coach.
00:38A few months later, I found new objectives, on the road,
00:42to me fix these new objectives, it was essential for me to advance.
00:48Benjamin Thomas, who takes a relay.
00:50He tries to go, maybe.
00:52My pleasure at the competition.
00:54So, once I found it, it was quickly.
00:58And now, I'm in the middle of it.
01:02You can't do it, Benjamin Thomas.
01:04They are cuits, in any case, bravo.
01:06And thank you for the most combatant of the fifth stage,
01:10the French Benjamin Thomas.
01:13I'm a little more captain of the road.
01:15I recommend a little more the young people.
01:17The years pass.
01:19Benjamin Thomas is out in front,
01:21behind Matthieu Verschers.
01:23I had completed three top 10 in 2022,
01:25so I would try to reproduce a little bit this scheme.
01:29I would try to chase the steps, as we say.
01:31It's ready for Benjamin Thomas.
01:33Thomas is trying to take a surprise from the rear.
01:35I would try to pass, why not?
01:37On a ballonet steps,
01:39or even more sprinting steps,
01:41and try to beat the sprinter.
01:43It's Benjamin Thomas or Matthieu Verschers.
01:45Oh, it's over!
01:47He's got lost!
01:49He's got lost!
01:51He's got lost!
01:53My dreams, it would be to continue my career as it started,
01:57in progress, looking for success,
02:01looking for prestige victories on the best courses.
02:04It's good, it's good to see Benjamin Thomas,
02:05it's on the two first climbers of the day,
02:07who has chuted,
02:09on the rare sector of the pavés.
02:12It's a dream, it's my first one of the best climbers.
02:15I thought, on another course, it never happened.
02:18So on the Tour de France, it's a dream, it's a mythic.
02:23It becomes difficult in modern cyclism with my profile,
02:29because I'm not a sprinter, I'm not a grimper,
02:32so I need to reinvent the way to win.
